Is my DMS4PRO working ot not?

I have a ps2(v5 pal) and a DMS4PRO.
I folow'd the dms giud for v5 and done every ting right, but it only made my ps2 region free. I can disable my dms4 by holding [] so it must be done right, and i get black screen(have to restart ps2 3time to get normal mod.)

I have a v-12 slim w/ DMS4 Pro premodded from themodchipman.com (shipped very fast, within a week). I thought it worked like the Magic series and just pop in your backup and the games load. But now I'm seeing there's Toxicbios and/or OS to download and flash the chip. At the risk of sounding like a dunce (which is probably already too late for that , how does one burn the Toxic 0.3 or 1.3 as an 'image' correctly. Do you mean the standard 'image' format like from Nero or something? Is there anything to do or download after that to get all my backup cds, dvd+/-r, rw's, DVD9s to play, or am I good to go once I get the Toxic flashed onto the PS2? (It be great to have somekind of step-by-step DMS4 Pro full instruction manual accessable.)

Please help. I've been without a PS2 for almost a month and I'm dyyyyinnnn'

bobby...I'm not sure how nero works because I use Alcohol, but you'll need to download the os 0.3 flash for the pro. With Alcohol it has the option "Image Burning Wizard". With that, you just browse to the downloaded flash and pick the only file which appears. Then just burn it.

HA! I guess being an Alcoholic can pay off in some instances. Used the Alcohol 120% Install Burning Wizard as bhetrick suggested and was able to load the ToxicOS 0.3 on the PS2 v12 w/ DMS4 Pro and works like a charm. Thanks a mil! You guys rock fer real!

BTW, what is the lifespan on these slimlines w/ DMS4s? I've been hearing some pretty scary stuff about them (well, i guess that's covered under another thread).

And one more thing, I also have the ToxicBIOS 1.3. Should I load that into the PS2 as well? Or is that not a good idea and I should just leave thins as-is? Thanks...
